BEATTIE on his debut??? :)

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

Hope so Smudge,depends on clearance?:confused::)

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

I'm probably being a bit thick here but I don't understand why we need clearance for James Beattie to play when he was a free agent?

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

As far as i know Di, he was on books at Sheff Utd.:)

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

Shef/Utd released james in May 2012. so i would think his registration papers have to be filed with the league/fa before he can play:) fax them:D

As soon as I saw the Northampton Team Sheet I feared a Mucky Endy.

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

How we went from dominating to chasing that game i will never know,:confused:Still at least it was a unique match..........First time i ever saw a "Fat Trick":D

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

What a defensive horror show. In spite of playing some lovely stuff going forward we were completely open down our right. Murphy and Winnard need dropping as they were left chasing shadows all afternoon. Awful and embarrassing. Molyneux, Gray and Miller were the pick of our lot for me. Come on, Leam. Bite the bullet and draft in Toto and Craig at the back. They can hardly do any worse.

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

Whilst i agree we played some nice stuff going forward,All to often there was "No Ball" played into the box (Danger Area) All to often a lovely forward move ended with a back pass, rather than the box. opportunity missed.IMHO.:(

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

2-1 up and in full control then Town made a double sub Platt 0ff(Robinson on ) Wilson off (Demontagnac 0n ) and the whole game changed and with in 4 mins of coming on Robinson made it 2-2,Town dominated after that. TBH after we went 2-1 up looked to be only one winner how quick it turned round in Towns faver...

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

Any team that lets the blimp that is Akinfenwa score with a diving header must have an appauling defence and I'm afreaid that was true of Accy today. Winnard is just not himself at the moment (get the impression he's cheesed off with being asked to play RB when he's so much better at CB). Murphy seems to lose the plot and too many players not at their best today. Can't honestly pick a MOM

Re: Northampton Town Match Thread..........
 

Think today it was a case of the wrong tactics/formation.

We played a big direct team and yet our primary method to get out of defense was the long ball to the flanks. They dominated us in the air all over the pitch and we never picked up the second ball off Akinfenwa.

On the ground we could have played them off the park - 5-2-1-2 would have give us an extra man at the back and overloaded the centre of the pitch where we cut them apart.

Think they deserved the win - they always looked dangerous on the break and from set pieces - all you can ask for away from home.
